1767-Feb.-14 (approx.): The slaving vessel Le Duc-de-Praslin arrived at Cap-Français from the Gold Coast under the command of Captain Hamonais. Captain Hamonais had assumed leadership of the ship following the death of the original commander, M. Morelon, during the voyage. The ship carried what the notice called a “very fine cargo of Blacks” to be sold by the merchant M. Aubert starting the following Saturday. This arrival provided a fresh supply of forced labor for the expansion of the northern sugar and coffee plantations.
